Pretoria - Friday, 11 April 2008, 12.00pm 

The Inkatha Freedom Party's Chief Whip and Spokesperson for Justice, Mr Koos van der Merwe MP, will take the Inkatha Freedom Party's fight for justice and the respect for human rights to an international platform tomorrow when he addresses the media in Pretoria. 

Justice Minister Brigitte Mabandla has been found GUILTY of human rights violations by the South African Human Rights Commissions in respect of the IFP's application for pardons for 384 political prisoners, yet five years on we have seen no movement on this issue. The High Court also has made a ruling against her. 

The IFP is now taking this fight for justice and human rights to an international human rights watchdog. The organisation will be present at the briefing.
